A quote from Theo Schlossnagle
The language is mostly irrelevant. I can’t count the number of times I’ve hear people say "Java doesn’t scale" or "PHP doesn’t scale". No languages scales; solutions scale.

Fullread
Fullread is online. It's just a simple tool that helps you organize your online readings.
I use del.icio.us a lot, mainly for bookmarking, but right now my account is a complete mess because I’m constantly adding links that I want to read later and I don't delete them.
Fullread uses a simple concept: I add an URL to my account to read later, then I decide to archive, delete or add it to my del.icio.us account.
Feel free to send me any feature request or something else.
I hope you enjoy it. -

Smallr
I've just released smallr. It lets you generate small web addresses with a keyword that make it easy to remember, will not break in emails and will never expire.
Basically is a TinyURL clone, with a keyword addon.
There will be an API for webservices with JSON and XML, eventually a Firefox extension.
Test it and send me some feedback.
I hope you enjoy it. -
Weekend in Sintra
We went to Sintra this weekend.
Sintra is a magical place where you feel like you've just entered a time machine and you find yourself in a land of castles and palaces surrounded by a luxurious vegetation. It's inevitable to lose yourself in all the historical details that are related to this place and the numerous points of interest.
To put the cherry on top of the cake, our choice for accommodation could not have been better! If you are looking for tranquility and be surrounded by all that magical atmosphere and... brace yourselves... have a room view to Pena Palace you will want to discover Quinta das Sequóias. A cosy and warm reception are expecting you as well as a delicious breakfast. We are absolutely going to return there.

A simple WSGI middleware dispatcher
The Web Server Gateway Interface (WSGI) is a standard interface between web server software and web applications written in Python. Having a standard interface makes it easy to use an application that supports WSGI with a number of different web servers.
One implementation is wsgiref that was added to Python 2.5 Standard Library.
Here is a simple web application that writes "Hello World":def index(environ, start_response): start_response("200 Ok", [('content-type', 'text/html')]) return ['Hello World!'] if __name__ == "__main__": from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server server = make_server(HOST, PORT, index) print 'Starting up HTTP server on port %i...' % PORT server.serve_forever()
This is nice, but is not very useful for us, so lets add some kind of controller(or url dispatcher):from dispatcher import Dispatcher dispatcher = Dispatcher() dispatcher.add(r'^/$', 'views.index') dispatcher.add(r'^/hello/(?P<username>\w+)/$', 'views.hello') HOST = 'localhost' PORT = 8000 if __name__ == "__main__": from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server server = make_server(HOST, PORT, dispatcher) print 'Starting up HTTP server on port %i...' % PORT server.serve_forever()
As you can see I've used a regular expression for the url mapping, just like Django uses.
Here is the dispatcher(dispatcher.py):import re class Dispatcher(object): def __init__(self, handle404 = None): self.urls = dict() self.request_path = '' if handle404: self.handle404 = handle404 else: self.handle404 = self._404 def __call__(self, environ, start_response): self.request_path = environ.get('PATH_INFO', '') for url in self.urls: regex = re.compile(url) if regex.match(self.request_path): m = regex.match(self.request_path) mod_name, func_name = self._get_mod_func(self.urls[url]) try: callback = getattr(__import__(mod_name, {}, {}, ['']), func_name) except ImportError, e: raise Exception, "Could not import %s. Error was: %s" % (mod_name, str(e)) except AttributeError, e: raise Exception, "Tried %s in module %s. Error was: %s" % (func_name, mod_name, str(e)) args = (environ, start_response) kwargs = dict() for i in regex.groupindex: kwargs[i] = m.group(i) # Run callback with environ, start_response and args return callback(*args, **kwargs) # No match with the defined urls return self.handle404(environ, start_response) def _get_mod_func(self, callback): """ Converts 'path.to.module.funtion' to ['path.to.module', 'function'] """ try: d = callback.rindex('.') except ValueError: return callback, '' return callback[:d], callback[d+1:] def _404(self, environ, start_response): start_response("404 Not Found", [('content-type', 'text/html')]) return ['Not Found'] def add(self, regex, handler): self.urls[regex] = handler
And here is the views(views.py):def index(environ, start_response): start_response("200 Ok", [('content-type', 'text/html')]) return ['Index'] def hello(environ, start_response, username): start_response("200 Ok", [('content-type', 'text/html')]) return ['Hello %s' % username]
Simple eh?
This is just a start, now we can add more features, like encapsulate the start_response method and add some kind of HttpResponse.
I don't what do reinvent the wheel here and add another web framework to Python, just like Joe Gregorio says in this article. But to prove how trivial is to make a simple framework with WSGI and don't worry about the deployment at development phase.
